Warning: Images are not from the movies we’re showing. Trust us, you can’t imagine what we’re showing!

Hungry? Then grab a table for this installment of Sundays on Fire that’ll dazzle your eyes, tickle your funny bone, and fill your belly.

This movie came a little later in Hong Kong movie history (the mid-90s) but it features one of the city’s biggest stars co-directing a movie that’s basically Iron Chef except funny. Constantly chopping, slicing, dicing, and searing, it’s a fast-moving fireball of a film that introduces you to a man who is quite literally a god of the kitchen. We aren’t going to tell you the title of this movie until it appears onscreen, but be prepared for one of the funniest, hungriest films you’re going to see this summer.

Starring: John Abbott, Noah Hathaway, David Comfort

A child has only an 8 day life-span to complete a mysterious journey from the dim cave-dwelling society where he is born to a final gateway, the object of folklore. The abstract learning-games taught to the child bear an eerie resemblance to mammoth tasks and obstacles that hinder him in his journey. Can he complete the quest before his 8 days are up, and what lies at the end of this arcane sunless world? The gray, stagnating civilization place all their hope in a future they cannot comprehend and learned tasks whose meaning they no longer understand.

A psychedelic new-age short about what a spiritual human being might find after death.

Starring: Tony Vogel, James Gibb, John Young

A knight finds his village destroyed and abandoned. He tries to track the attackers down and avenge his family, but almost drowns. A maiden, prisoner of Black Knight, saves him, so he vows to free her, even though she warns him not to.

Starring: Daria Nicolodi, John Steiner, David Colin Jr.

A woman (Daria Nicolodi) returns to her former home with a new spouse (John Steiner) and a son (David Colin Jr.) possessed by the ghost of his father.

The themes, images, and cultural vernacular of Victor Fleming’s The Wizard of Oz continue to haunt David Lynch’s art and filmography — from his very first short, The Alphabet, to his latest series, Twin Peaks: The Return. Arguably, no filmmaker has so consistently drawn inspiration — consciously or unconsciously — from a single work.

Is David Lynch trapped in the land of Oz? If so, can we derive a new appreciation for Lynch’s body of work from taking a closer look at how it intersects and communicates with The Wizard of Oz? In turn, do Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway or The Elephant Man have something to say about the enduring resonance of America’s most beloved holiday movie? Through six distinct perspectives, and narrated by some of contemporary cinema’s most exciting voices, Lynch/Oz will take us down the proverbial rabbit hole, help us re-experience and re-interpret The Wizard of Oz by way of David Lynch, to deliver a whole new appreciation for Lynch’s symbolism through the lens of his greatest influence.

Starring: Warren Beatty, Halle Berry, Don Cheadle, Oliver Platt, Paul Sorvino, Jack Warden

Jay Bulworth (Warren Beatty), a financially ruined senator, is now disillusioned with politics. The forlorn statesman orders a contract killing — the target himself — so his family will be able to collect a fortune from his insurance policy. Facing imminent death, a devil-may-care Bulworth speaks his mind in public, forsaking platitudes for honest but controversial observations. But when he falls in love with a hip young woman (Halle Berry), Bulworth urgently rethinks his impending murder.

Starring: Shelley Long, Gary Cole, Tim Matheson, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Christine Taylor, Paul Sutera, Jennifer Elise Cox, Henriette Mantel, Jesse Lee Soffer, Olivia Hack

The trusting and anachronistic Brady family gets a harsh jolt of 1990s reality when scheming con artist Trevor Thomas (Tim Matheson) shows up at their home, claiming that he’s the long-missing first husband of Brady matriarch Carol (Shelley Long). Her real husband, good-natured Mike (Gary Cole), is none too happy about their house guest. The Brady kids eventually catch wind of the deception, leading to an antic-filled excursion to Hawaii when the impostor steals a prized family possession.

Starring: Tobey Maguire, Jeff Daniels, Joan Allen, William H. Macy, J.T. Walsh, Reese Witherspoon, Don Knotts

Impressed by high school student David’s (Tobey Maguire) devotion to a 1950s family TV show, a mysterious television repairman (Don Knotts) provides him with a means to escape into the black-and-white program with his sister, Jennifer (Reese Witherspoon). While David initially takes to the simplistic, corny world of the show, Jennifer sets about jolting the characters with doses of reality that unexpectedly bring a little color into their drab existence.

Starring: Arnold Johnson, Stan Gottlieb, Allen Garfield

When its chairman dies, an advertising firm’s executive board must elect someone to fill the position. Each member, unable to vote for himself, casts a secret ballot for Putney Swope (Arnold Johnson), the firm’s only black executive, assuming he wouldn’t receive any votes from the other members. But once in power, Swope makes radical changes to the firm — like keeping only one white employee and refusing to advertise harmful products — all under the firm’s new moniker, “Truth and Soul, Inc.”
